i'm wondering if there is anybody out there that is decent at math's! i was never any good and could do with a bit of help.....

I want to work out the size of my tank without measuring the water manually with a jug.....

if i know the height, lengh and width dimensions then logically there should be a calculation to work out the capacity surely.....

thanks luke.

There is Unison. It's quite straightforward - measure the length, height and width in cm and then use the following formula:

( length x height x width)/1000 = litres

If you want UK Gallons, divide the answer by 4.54; for US Gallons, divide the answer by 3.80. Voila. Smile

If you go in the beginner section unison, there is a stickie there for working out the volumes, might be a bit easier on the brain! Very Happy
